The 10 Best Multi-day Tours in Abu Simbel, Nile River Valley

September 30, 2021 Margarita Chappel

Abu Simbel is a charming, compact town—it's navigable by foot and makes an easy daytrip from Aswan. However, the town's main attractions, the Temple of Ramses II and Nefertari's Temple of Hathor, were almost lost to the rising waters of Lake Nasser in the 1960s. Fortunately, UNESCO stepped in and saved them, preserving the intricate carvings inside both structures. After exploring the temple interiors, take in stunning views over the lake and desert. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

We had a great experience in Egypt with our guides Mohammed in Cairo, and Rocky (Ragab) in Aswan and Luxor. Both were very knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, and modern culture. They spoke great English and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend them, along with Explore Plus to anyone interested in seeing the real Egypt.

It was a great experience. They picked us up at 3:30 from our cruise ship docked on the east side of the river. Then we were taken to the takeoff site where we watched the preparation od the balloons. Flew over Hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Kings etc and stopped for the sunrise over thr Nile. We were floating at over 700 m above the ground. The flight took around 50 minutes. Then we were driven back to the ship. Great! Totally recommend!

Great experience from the nubian village dinner tour. This was the only Nubia village tour with dinner included when I was looking for it. Well organized, met my guide Eareeny at my cruise, the transport boat was right next to it. After about 30mins sunset view boat ride, we arrived nubian village. Eareeny showed me around the Nubian village. It's a beautiful village. I love the vivid color, and also learned some nubian words in their elementary school. The dinner was amazing, 4 main dishes and lots of sides. we sit on the rooftop, got the river view from my table, and they cook great food, love the chicken so much.

This tour is amazing, I would totally recommend it to family and friends! We had the chance to explore all the temples from Aswan, Abu Simbel to Luxor. Our guide Ramzy was a key part to make this trip unforgettable, he was very knowledgeable and always willing to answer all the questions we had about the history of the temples. He was always with us and made sure that we had the best experience. The cruise was really nice too, the room was well equipped and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Without a doubt one the best experiences my Wife and I have ever had. Our tour company was in contact with us via WhatsApp from the very beginning to confirm our details and our pick up time in the morning. We were picked up at 4am promptly as detailed and made our way to our boat on the Nile where we were offered Coffee to start our early journey over to the West Bank then on our tour bus to the Ballon park where we met our fellow Tourists. We met our Pilot and was given a thorough safety briefing and after a short while we were airborne with a gorgeous Sunrise and a beautiful view of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Beautiful and serene is an understatement. Our Pilot made sure to point out all the various highlights along the way. Afterwards after our soft landing we met our absolutely wonderful guide Hatem. I cannot stress enough how comfortable and welcomed he made us feel and even more importantly how knowledgeable he was when it came to our tour of the Valley of the King's, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple and the Colossi of Memnon. We felt like we had our own personal guide that would answer any and all questions and knew everything there was to know about the History in the area. This tour hit all of the highlights in Luxor, Hatem our guide along with our driver Islam certainly made it memorable and we definitely book this tour again ourselves and highly recommend it for those considering it.
